Default RE: Any one heard of...

If you do some searches you will find many people who are happy to get cheap products of questionable quality. You'll also find many people who have received defective or damaged products and have had great difficulty contacting raidentech to resolve the problem. If you're happy buying a product with virtually no support, poorly written instructions, and questionable quality, raidentech will meet your needs. However, don't be surprised if you need to do significant modifications to make it strong enough to fly or if the covering starts peeling off after a couple flights. Note that some of their planes have the CMP brand name. These do appear to be of better quality than the generic ones.

I have experience with several of the products they sell. I'll sum up my thoughts about them with one statement, "I won't make that mistake again".

Personally, I think raidentech's business model is bad for the US hobby industry and modeling in general. I'd prefer to support businesses that are run by people in the hobby who actively design, test, and service the products, and who stand behind what they sell.
